Thereason
Musiq Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back when I was just me
You were always there to help and support my dreams
And you've encouraged me to see
And want so much more out of life
And you said never mind your fears,
Cause soon they will pass in time
And I want to thank you see cause
[Chorus]

All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
That you helped make me into what I am today
I applaud you for being so patient with me
All I am and all that I will ever be
Is because of you and I am proud to say
No one else could do what you have done for me
You mean the world to me (yeah)

There were times when I was so
Frustrated with you
I felt I didn't want you no more
But then I realized
That without you I would be so alone (yeah)
But I chose to deal with you,
Whether right or wrong and I'm so glad I did cause

[Chorus]

See you cause and changed my life
You turned an empty heart to work of art
And open my eyes to the world
I would have never known, for that I'm grateful
You are my pride and my joy
The closest thing to me next to the God above




And will forever be my first love
And I'm always gonna give my all to you
